Just posting for a bit of information really. Brother in Law has suspected bowel cancer and is awaiting results of a biopsy after flexible sigmoidoscopy. He says the consultant has ordered a cancer CFE blood test which, despite extensive googling, I can't find any info on. Does it mean anything to anyone on here or perhaps he's got that detail wrong? Many thanks - just very worried and trying to gather as much info as possible.

I hope you will get some answers. Waiting for test and result is a very scary time.

Thank you. I've had some great advice from the other thread - and feel very humbled just through some of the stories on there!
